Im visiting kyoto again for this hotel alone! The room was soo nice and relaxing. Employees are so kind. I must say the washing machines is not it though. Never fully dried our clothes so we hung the clothes all over thr room and it dried in a few hours. Other than that everything was amazing!
The room was small but well designed. The flooring in the toilet room should have been tiled instead of the textile flooring. There were stains in the toilet room floor which could not be cleaned.
Otherwise we are very happy with the hotel, front desk staff and especially liked the tea/coffee/juice drinks and bread (breakfast) in the lobby.

The complimentary breakfast was m basically just juice coffee teas, and differs bread options (waffles, croissant, toast, and sourdough). It is cheaper to also add breakfast to your before stay vs
The room was clean and modern, with a convenient location. Although there was a window, it was dark. Since most of the day was spent sightseeing in Kyoto and the area though, this wasn’t a problem. Having breakfast provided was also convenient, with a mix of Asian and western options. Careful with late checkout fees.
